Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 871 - 578: Does One Skill Get You Everywhere?

"Master Yan."

"Yan God General."

"That last arrow was beautifully shot!"

The leaders of the other three teams stationed at Zhangxia Mountain, Feng He, Che Mie, and Wanggong Bi, three Sixth Rank Divine Generals, had also witnessed Yan Chuan's arrow repelling thousands of Divine Generals. At the first moment the enemy retreated, the three hurried over.

Yan Chuan was actually familiar with these three, or rather, Lv Zhong was familiar with them initially. Yan Chuan would occasionally go to Lv Zhong's martial arts lectures, and the three would sometimes come to listen, amazed by the Heavenly People. Later, they invited Yan Chuan to lecture martial arts in their teams as well.

Yan Chuan accepted all invitations.

Coming and going.

Naturally, they became familiar.

Now, they are jointly stationed at Zhangxia Mountain, long agreeing to watch and help each other, yet they didn't expect Yan Chuan alone to beat back the enemy and shock them into retreat. His strength was extraordinary. Feng He, Che Mie, and Wanggong Bi originally thought Yan Chuan was only skilled in martial arts lectures, being proficient in troop training. Thus they previously befriended him equally.

But now.

After today.

Upon witnessing Yan Chuan's formidable strength, even though all present were Sixth Rank Divine Generals, they understood the gap between them. Alongside admiration, there was now more respect for Yan Chuan.

This is a strong person.

One truly cannot defeat.

Yan Chuan didn't look down on others. He smiled to them, "My shooting skill is just barely passable; I don't deserve your praises."

Yan Chuan was modest.

Everyone laughed.

Indeed, being able to reach such a terrifying level of shooting skill involved focusing most of his energy in this area, which naturally made other aspects weaker.

Many high-rank Divine Generals are like this. First in impression, often they are 'Absolute Skill Brother,' who use one skill to conquer everything.

For example, Lv Zhong, known in the Great Yan Martial World as 'Golden Silk Jade Robe,' is most skilled in Cross Refining Skill, reaching Sixth Rank, Steel Bones, Golden Silk Jade Robe, indestructible.

Feng He excels in Slaughter Sword Skill, mastering Slaughter Sword Intent.

Che Mie excels in Qinggong, speed is a unique strength.

Wanggong Bi excels in Whip Technique, using whip technique to execute grapple skills most effectively, adept at capturing.

Sixth Rank Divine Generals.

High Rank Divine Generals.

Almost everyone has a special skill; on the contrary, the mediocre ones are rarely seen, or rather, balanced ones among high-rank Divine Generals are rare, not only not mediocre, but very strong.

Feng He, Che Mie, Wanggong Bi, and others only assumed Yan Chuan was also 'Absolute Skill Brother,' his specialty being the astounding shooting skill just displayed.

However.

The next moment.

"Who's there!"

Yan Chuan let out a bursting shout, his figure flashed incredibly fast, astonishing even Che Mie, who prided himself on being the strongest in Qinggong. In an instant, he disappeared; when caught again by the naked eye, he was already atop the mountain on the opposite side, his ten fingers forming claws, fiercely clawing at the void—

Rip!

Amidst the sound of air explosions, a person was somehow hidden in the previously empty void, but Yan Chuan forcefully dragged them out.

Track exposed.

Wanggong Bi recognized the person, suddenly alarmed: "That's 'Nansha Zi,' best at lurking and assassinating, an Eighth Rank Divine General once fell to his ambush, his strength is also terrifying! Master Yan, do not fight him!"

The crowd was amazed.

This Nansha Zi was likely the enemy army's backup plan. Upon learning Zhangxia Mountain had a godly archer like Yan Chuan, they dispatched Nansha Zi, an assassination expert, to execute a decapitation operation.

Yet unexpectedly, he was discovered by Yan Chuan before he could act.

Even exposed, Nansha Zi remained strong, especially in movement techniques and close combat, firmly at Eighth Rank Divine General level.

Yan Chuan was strong, but strong in shooting.

Ranged against close combat.

Close-quarters short strike?

No, no, no!

How could he possibly win?

"Be careful, brother!" Lv Zhong saw the situation and was the first to charge forward to assist Yan Chuan.

"Master Yan, be careful!"

Feng He, Che Mie, Wanggong Bi followed closely behind.

They knew well that Yan Chuan was the strongest present. As long as they protected the divine archer Yan Chuan, the hope of defending Zhangxia Mountain increased tenfold.

Otherwise, it would be difficult.

Therefore, even though Nansha Zi had a fierce reputation, they couldn't retreat now.

Moreover, even if he was an Eighth Rank Divine General, the four Sixth Rank Divine Generals joined forces, as long as Yan Chuan could extract himself, then, with the Divine Skill in hand, divine arrow assault, even an Eighth Rank Divine General must be cautious.

The outcome is still uncertain!

The premise is!

Guarding Yan Chuan!

Yet—

"Brother?"

Lv Zhong rushed out first, but before he reached the battle or joined in, he saw Yan Chuan using claw skill, sometimes elusive and agile, transforming without form, yet his gestures were upright and righteous, sometimes ghostly, sometimes divine.

The battle occurred in an instant.

"Hand it over!"

Fierce listening to Yan Chuan's shout, his left hand flipped, snatched the blade from Nansha Zi's hand, using techniques of empty hand against blade with skills like "Heavenly Mountain Broken Plum Hand," "Nine Yin White Bone Claw," integrated together, followed by the elbow hitting Nansha Zi's chest acupoint, a peculiar move from "Holy Fire Order Divine Skill," then his right hand spread wide, five fingers clawing at Nansha Zi's head, True Qi soaring and descending into the crown, sealing all his acupoints and Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Though just a moment, it was enough to render Nansha Zi temporarily unable to move or resist.

Then.

Yan Chuan chanted, and Nansha Zi was drawn into the 'North Mansion,' locked in a prison, chains clanging, having captured and suppressed this assassin king who could assassinate Eighth Rank Divine Generals.

Really absurd!

Inside the North Mansion, originally containing only one prisoner named Zhou Shun, now added was another king of assassination, Nansha Zi.

"Brother!" Lv Zhong advanced, shocked: "Are you alright?"

Feng He, Che Mie, Wanggong Bi were also stunned: "Did Nansha Zi escape?"

They came to reinforce, seeing from a distance Yan Chuan seizing Nansha Zi's weapon, even capturing Nansha Zi's crown, but next moment, Nansha Zi was nowhere to be seen.

Considering Nansha Zi's stealth and assassination skills, the four would naturally suspect he used some Secret Technique to escape.

Unbeknownst to them.

This person was already suppressed by Yan Chuan, becoming a prisoner.

Yan Chuan played along, not revealing the 'North Mansion,' ideally. He followed their words and shook his head, "Nansha Zi is as slippery as a loach; I used claw skill trying to capture him for our use, but he slipped away, disappearing without a trace. I don't know how he escaped, or where he fled to."

Yan Chuan acted convincingly.

Feng He, Che Mie, Wanggong Bi glanced around, all frowning: "This is troubling."

"Indeed!"

Lv Zhong's heart sank abruptly: "Nansha Zi is an assassination master, his presence is like a shadow, preventing surprise; though our defense in Zhangxia Mountain is tight, he entered and exited silently. If he frequently returns, how can we fend off?"

All four worried.

Yan Chuan smiled: "Soldiers come and go, water floods and dirt covers! I discovered Nansha Zi once, I can discover him again. Moreover, such assassins value swift retreat after a failed attack; having exposed once and nearly caught, he must think twice before daring to return to Zhangxia Mountain."

Nansha Zi?

Never coming back!
